new and a little scared

[Mij]

I'm glad I found this site. I am a little afraid of long term effects connected with taking Phentermine. But I really need it and I am willing to take the risk. I don't feel any side effects except kind of a heavy heady feeling. I am a very calm person so I don't expect mood swings. I am a post menopausal woman and take no medications. I am really healthy except for being overweight and out of control with food. Many here seem to have had tremendous success with the weight loss and I am encouraged. It is always comforting to know there are others struggling out there. I guess I don't expect a response, but some reassurance that I am doing the right thing would help. Thanks!

I've been off and on phen for years--the worst side effect for me is the dry mouth--i'm no spring chicken either -- so as long as your under some type of physicians care -- i say go for it -- phentermine has been the only way for me to loose weight and maintain over the years -- and i've never had really bad mood swings -- i guess i've always been happy go lucky in this world--good luck -- and if your looking for an e-mail friend for support -- kitka627****.com--

My reply is... It if works for you stick to it. Many things can happen in one's life and yes I know you don't have to tempt fate. But your doing that letting yourself be overweight anyway aren't you? (ie heart disease, high blood sugar, high choloresteral) I was on Phen and then they supposedly "took it off the market." But I do know that then and now I would be willing to chance the effects rather than let myself stay this way and be effected in the long run anyway. Just a thought.

A few people have been saying that they took phentermine off the market a while back.i
remember that they took phen/fen off the market.that's why they gave me phentermine
a couple years back.

[MollyElizabeth]

Phentermine was never taken off the market. The "fen" portion of the "phen/fen" was pulled a few years ago, so that particular combination is no longer available...but phentermine, alone, has never missed a beat

What a fine job you've been doing, Molly.

[MollyElizabeth]

I could never compare to you

[ROBIN]

Did anything odd happen while I was gone? Is everyone still alive?

[MollyElizabeth]

Did you read my post to you under the "Dr. Caution" topic?

[ROBIN]

The ears burning one?

[MollyElizabeth]

Robin...

Why, now that you ask, something did happen with me. I developed a new addiction. I will add it to my "Obsessive/Compulsive Things To Do When I'm Bored" list. Grab a pen and some paper as I'm sure you'll find as much gratification in it as I have today...

[MollyElizabeth]

What the heck are you talking about...who's ears are on fire?? You lost me on that one...


Anywho...you ready to take some notes on my new hobby?

[ROBIN]

Molly,
I've lost 3 pounds this weekend. All Ive eaten is 3 bags of Cheetos and a bucket of pickles. I did have two brownies. No water but pitchers of margaritas and lots of coffee. I should do this diet more often.

[ROBIN]

Ok, I'm ready (I've heard that one enough times tonight) What are you going to tell me Molly? Please speak slowly. Am I spelling ok?

[MollyElizabeth]

Okay...here's the story...

It was rainy and gross all day here. The house was already clean, so I didn't have anything to do. I noticed that there was some dirty laundry in the hamper...but not nearly enough to occupy my day.

My solution? You know how you're supposed to divide like colors? I have always been a little picky in this area anyway, so I decided to elaborate on this already annoying character flaw
I decided to sub-divide the laundry into even more like colors (reds split up into pinks, purples, maroons...blues into navy, royal, light jeans, darker jeans, even darker jeans...etc.)
I even separated the towels.
The real fun was with the khakis.
Gray was a tough one too...there is a bluish-gray, white-ish gray, and charcoal gray.
It is not all my fault...why do manufacturers insist on making so many different variations of each basic color?

Well...I set my washer on "small load" and washed away today.
I'm done now.
I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow

I hope people in other countries aren't reading this and thinking that I'm a nut

[ROBIN]

Well I washed the blue sheets with my blue shorts and tank top. I ran out of detergent so i just used Dawn dish soap. You can do this in the washing machine but don't try it in the dish washer. Too many bubbles

Hi i'm new to this drug and this forum..i'm so glad to see so many other people like me and success stories...i only hope it will happen for me soon...it's only been 6 days and no results...please any info or advice..thanks

[MollyElizabeth]

Well...

Now that I've given you a good laugh for tonight, I guess I'll go on to bed.

Good night.
Sleep tight.
Don't let the bed bugs call you in the middle of the night

[ROBIN]

Night Molly,
I've got to clean up a bit. You think it's too late for me to mow? After the police incidnet i don't think the neighbors will give it much thought. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Night
